Why The Ace Hotel Palm Springs Is the Perfect Wedding Venue
For Courtney and Zach, the Ace Hotel Palm Springs was more than just a venue — it was a place tied to early memories from their move to Los Angeles in 2020. Drawn to the raw beauty of the desert, they knew the dramatic mountain backdrop and the golden desert sunsets would create an unforgettable setting for their wedding day. The seamless indoor-outdoor flow of the Ace allowed guests to soak in the relaxed atmosphere, moving effortlessly from sunset cocktails to an evening of celebration. With its laidback and cool spaces, the Ace offered not just a wedding location, but a full experience — a place to swim, unwind, and celebrate under the desert sky.
Courtney and Zach’s Fashion Details
For their wedding looks, Courtney and Zach both envisioned wearing white. Zach curated his outfit with carefully chosen pieces from Industry of All Nations in Venice, achieving a look that felt both polished and effortless. Courtney discovered Kamperett and immediately connected with the ethereal style of their designs. After trying on just two dresses, she chose the Loretta Midi, which offered a beautiful balance of elegance and approachability. “Both of our outfits brought us joy and made us feel pretty.”
They also incorporated thoughtful personal details into their day — playful socks from Carne Bollente, a hairband from Hair of the Dog, and a shared fragrance from Le Labo — adding layers of personality to their celebration.
Their outfits complemented not only each other but also the overall desert-chic aesthetic of their Ace Hotel Palm Springs wedding, with pops of natural textures, warm tones, and artistic floral designs tying everything together.
